MOUNTAINHOOD ~ THUNDERPAINT THE STONE HORSE ELECTRIC ~ lp (TIME-LAG RECORDS)
the counterpart to “wings from a storm”. acid-dripping lo-fi euphoric melancholy west coast folk beauty from michael curtis hilde. this dude is seriously prolific, with a fine string of cdr only release under the moontainhood and almaden names, but this pair is a real apex of his still unfolding musical vision. “thunderpaint the stone horse electric” is a totally intimate & spontaneously vibed little gem. deeply felt, introverted, hallucinatory, and starry-eyed song stories delivered via fuzzy bedroom fourtrack gush. fevered vocals quiver, warble, double, and swoon around gentle or ragged acoustic guitar, foot-stomping tambourine thud & jingle, harmonium, breezy flute, warm tape hiss, and singing crystal cave atmospherics… we know the animals are dancing… pressed on 180gm bright red vinyl, with printed, hand stamped, and hand numbered labels. packaged in a foldout cream art paper cover with full sized high quality paste-on art front & back, screen printed interior, hand stamping, as well as individually hand drawn rainbows, plus a big art sticker insert & a 2nd xerox track list insert. limited edition of 222 copies.
MOUNTAINHOOD ~ WINGS FROM A STORM ~ lp (TIME-LAG RECORDS)
the counterpart to “thunderpaint the stone horse electric” is equally lovely, lo-fi, and lysergic, but here the somewhat euphoric zone has become ultra lovesick moody. dominated by just piano & vocals, with bits of guitar, tapes, chiming tones and dusty wooden night sounds stirring. definitely glassy-eyed voyeurism… pressed on 180gm bright red vinyl, with printed, hand stamped, and hand numbered labels. packaged in a foldout whale grey art paper cover with full sized full color high quality paste-on art front & back, screen printed interior, and hand stamping, plus two big art sticker inserts & a 3rd xerox track list insert. limited edition of 222 copies.
MOUNTAINHOOD ~ THE RIVER / THE ROAD ~ 7inch (important)
300 exquisitely handmade copies. part 2 in the larger multivisorial dreamsaga called: the light, the road, recorded in nyc, continues the epic narrative of kria blisses’ journey to/through the chrystal palace first introduced in goldenness, part 1. packaging painted, pencilled, photographed in new almaden, northern california or point lobos, big sur, also forms a narrative whole broken down into several acts or series perceivable only by over-eye. this record follows his sold out records on time lag, ecstatic yod & reverb worship. this is volume ten in our arts & crafts series. each record in the series is released in handmade packaging by the artist on the record. it’s clear that michael hilde poured countless hours into these jackets so we’ve documented each one. there wasn’t enough time to photograph the inside covers which are as detailed as the outside. hilde went beyond all expectations… great new single, each copy with hand drawn/painted packaging. nice.
MOUNTAINHOOD ~ DEATH POD ~ one-sided lp (blackest rainbow, uk)
our very first one sided lp, which is a bizarre trip from michael curtis hilde’s mountainhood project. this one follows on from the two lps on time-lag’s red records label a few months back which vanished super fast, as well as other releases on reverb worships and yod. total outsider midnight missions into weirdness… strange strings twang and rattle into the darkness, a very strange experience spread across one side of black wax. limited to 300 copies in pro-printed wrap around sleeve featuring art by michael… ultra-zoned stuff. nice.
MOUNTAINHOOD ~ LIVE AT DEARBORN HOUSE ~ 3inch cdr (reverb worship, uk)
last year i discussed with michael hilde the idea of doing something special for my 100th release on reverb worship. michael very kindly agreed to do something memorable and very worthwhile. “live at dearborn house” is a 5 track 3″ cdr ep. we are very proud to announce this release which both michael and myself have spent a lot of time and effort preparing and working on. michael spent roughly three months doing the artwork. each and every one of the 100 covers has been hand drawn, painted and numbered by michael himself. the artwork is totally gorgeous and straight from a very talented and creative mind. you can see all of the cover designs on the “mountainhood” page on this website and on my myspace page too. no doubt michael will be posting up images too on his website www.mountainhood.com. made in a limited edition of 100 hand numbered copies. each cd is individually titled. this release has been priced to compliment the hard graft, labour and artistic input involved to create such lovely collectables such as these. you are not only getting a twenty plus minute “live” cdr but a individual work of art as well… far-out sounds & totally great hand done packaging with michael’s unique a wonderful artwork all over.
northern california’s mountainhood has a long long long discography, and we’re psyched about the latest. shine shine is sometimes sweet folk songs, sometimes a wild party (like a bunch of horsemen dancing around a stump), and just about always full of plenty of goblin voices. take it on your roadtrip and get nostalgic about redwoods and the moon. with an 8-page minibook of art by michael hilde. edition of 200.
